The impressive four-time and four-night Mescalero Apache girls puberty ceremonial supplies the structure for Farrer’s thought of the ways that old myths and legends inform modern actions and beliefs. Why people work as they do is really as much a concentrate as is their real behavior. Sights and smells are nearly palpable as the writer provides the greatest in reflexive ethnography by enabling readers to find her as a person instead of an all-understanding anthropologist. Through instructions directed at Farrer by Bernard Second, her Apache instructor for fourteen years, visitors gain insight in to the importance of narrative, not only in ceremony but specifically in living on a modern Indian reservation in the American Southwest. She neither romanticizes nor patronizes the Apachean people, who are shown as people who have foibles in addition to possessing much worth admiration.
